CHAPTER 17

David lay on his back in bed as the light from the window was just beginning to break the darkness. He reached out his hand and felt the top of Jessica’s thigh. She turned around to face him, wrapping her arm around his torso. He looked at her and could make out her long, red hair cascading over her pillow. There was enough light to make out the freckles on her face. He felt a rush in his stomach and smiled.

He thought back on his life over the last year. He’d discovered he was a witch from a long line of witches. He’d found his parents after not seeing them for twenty years. His father had died, but he’d been lucky enough to forge a relationship with him before that. He had found an amazing person in Jessica. He’d grown his magickal abilities tenfold and more since discovering he was a witch. He still missed Terence and wondered if he would ever see the little creature/monk again, smiling as he remembered their banter. And his Aunt Gen and the magickal community of the Witches of Scotland had become a permanent fixture in his heart.

“Mm, you okay?” he heard Jessica mumbling beside him.

“Yeah, I’m good, Just thinking about how much has changed over the last year,” David replied, turning to face her. He placed his hand on her cheek and smiled. Fuck, she is beautiful. Another tingling rush in his stomach.

With her eyes still closed, Jessica smiled. “It’s going to be an even bigger change over the next year by the sounds of it.”

David turned his head towards the ceiling again. “Yeah, I wonder how it’s all going to pan out.”

Jessica couried into him more, wrapping her leg around his. “Mm, we’ll find out more today what’s been happening.”

“What do you really think about all this?” David asked softly. “About what Felerah's doing?”

Jessica shifted closer to him, her breath warm against his neck. “Honestly? I keep changing my mind. Every time I think about my grandmother, about all the people who suffered needlessly because of these companies…” She paused. “But then I think about what happens when people lose faith in everything at once.”

“Yeah,” David said, absently running his fingers through her hair. “It's like... when I first learned about being a witch, about magick being real – it changed everything. But I had you and Aunt Gen and the whole community to help me process it. The rest of the world? They're getting all their foundations knocked out at once.”

“And that's just from one broken seal,” Jessica added. “If she does the same thing in America…” She propped herself up on one elbow to look at him. “What's crazy is that part of me wants her to keep going. To expose it all. Is that wrong?”

David turned to meet her gaze. “I was thinking the same thing. Maybe that's the seal breaking affecting us too – making us hungry for more truth, just like your dad said it would.”

“Or maybe we're just tired of watching people suffer because of lies,” Jessica said quietly.
